In 2019, total revenue for X Company was $1,915,400. Total costs
were as follows:
Direct materials | $262,300 |
Direct labor [all variable] | 274,500 |
Variable overhead | 292,800 |
Fixed overhead | 169,000 |
Variable selling and administration | 268,400 |
Fixed selling and administration | 188,000 |
If total revenue in 2020 is expected to be $1,778,810, what are expected profits in 2020 [round the CM or CM rate to two decimal places]?
Answer : Expected profit for 2020 = $4,02,018
Step 1 : calculation of contribution margin ratio for 2019
Particularls | Amount |
Sales | $1,915,400 |
Variable cost ($2,62,300 + $2,74,500 + $2,92,800 + $2,68,400) | $1,098,000 |
Contribution margin (sales - variable cost) | 8,17,400 |
Contribution Ratio (contribution margin ÷ sales) | 42.67%(rounded off to two decimals) |
Step 2 : Total fixed cost = $1,88,000 + $1,69,000 = $3,57,000
Step 3 : By using above contribution margin ratio let us find contribution margin for 2020 :
Contribution margin = sales × contribution ratio
= $1,778,810 × 42.67%
= $7,59,018
Net profit = sales - variable cost - fixed cost
= Contribution margin - fixed cost
= $7,59,018 - $3,57,000
= $4,02,018
Therefore
Expected profit for 2020 = $4,02,018
